Keep in mind that new accounts opened within the past several months are generally considered ineligible.

To request an increase by phone, call Capital One customer service at the number on the back of the card. From the automated phone system, choose "More Options" to hear the credit increase option. You will need to provide the same information as you would for an online request.

Here’s what happens after you submit the Capital One Quicksilver credit limit increase request:

Asking for a Capital One Quicksilver credit limit increase will not affect your credit score, as Capital One uses a soft pull for all credit limit inquiries. Moreover, after you’ve submitted your request, Capital One generally provides a decision immediately. But if they need to review further information, it may take up to 30 days to receive a decision. If you’re approved, your new credit line will be available immediately.

If you’re denied a credit limit increase, Capital One allows you to submit another request any time you like, but your odds of approval are better if you wait six months. Capital One Quicksilver also offers the possibility of automatic credit limit increases for select customers. But there’s no guarantee when, or if, one will occur.

The Capital One Platinum credit limit is $300 or more, depending on your creditworthiness. So, you’re guaranteed at least a $300 spending limit if you’re approved for the card, and if your credit score and income exceed what Capital One is looking for, you could definitely start off with a higher limit.

Keep in mind that you aren’t stuck with your starting Capital One Platinum credit limit forever. Capital One may increase your limit if you make your first 6 payments on time. You can also request an increase yourself. Many users report their limits increasing over time.

Here are some Capital One Platinum credit limit details:

• You’re guaranteed a credit limit of at least $300 if you’re approved for Capital One Platinum.
• Capital One Platinum accepts applicants with limited. If you have good credit or a lot of income relative to your debt, you’ll likely start with a higher limit.
• Capital One may increase your credit limit after you make your first 6 monthly payments on time. After the first 6 months, they will review your account periodically to see if you deserve a higher limit. Pay more than the minimum each month, if possible, to boost your chances.
• You can request a credit limit increase yourself by calling customer service at (800) 227-4825. You can also log into your Capital One account. Just choose “Request Credit Line Increase” from the “Services” tab. You’ll have to provide information about your income and employment for Capital One to make their decision.

So, you’ll get $300+ from Capital One Platinum to start. If you use your card responsibly, you’ll provide yourself with opportunities to increase your limit. But it’s best not to ask for an increase before six months of on-time payments, as you’ll probably be denied. If you do request an increase, Capital One may generate a hard inquiry, or “hard pull,” of your credit report. This will cause a slight drop in your credit score. That’s pretty standard.
